I’m still not gonna support fan games like that because it still takes fans away. Well actually now that I think of it at least it means the toxicity can be diverted somewhat so that’s great.

A “true fan” how I would define it is somebody who likes Pokémon a lot and stays loyal to Nintendo even during rough times. This doesn’t mean you can’t be critical to the series but you’ll give things a fair shot because Gamefreak have never explicitly created a bad Pokémon game (some aren’t as good as other but all are good).

If you support fan games, hack the game or complain about everything gamefreak does then you can’t be a proper fan of Pokémon because it shows you have no respect for them.
